ABOUT THE TEAM

The consumer panel landscape in the UK is undergoing significant change, with both leading players adopting new technology & techniques to arrive at solutions for clients.

ABOUT THIS JOB
The role will report directly to the commercial lead for Consumer Panel Services in the UK, it will be a dual focussed role supporting the Consumer Analytics Team in both delivery and commercial support.
